Jose Mourinho has stated that he believes Tottenham will get a striker ahead of next month's transfer deadline. The Lilywhites have signed Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Joe Hart and Matt Doherty. The trio strengthens Spurs' squad but attention now turns to bringing in a new frontman. Mourinho was asked at his pre-match press conference about the current state of player in terms of strengthening upfront. "Yes, I want, I need a striker, but I want to make it very, very clear that the club – the structure above me – knows that I need a striker and also wants a striker," he explained. "Are we going to get one? I honestly believe so. For the balance of the squad, the team needs it because at this moment the squad is getting very balanced, with different options for different positions. "Especially after the gift we had from the EFL and UEFA, that gives me after 20 years of football a unique experience of playing Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday for two consecutive weeks. "We realise that more than ever we need that. So yes we’re working on it. The other day Jurgen [Klopp] was saying that Liverpool is not a club of oligarchs and countries. We are the same. "We cannot go to the market and spend a fortune on players. But we all, we all, I want to make that clear, are making hard to give good balance to the squad and that good balance would to get another striker to the team. He added: "We are working. Different people in the club in different areas. We try all together to find a solution that makes us all happy. Of course, I have total confidence that it’s going to end in a positive way for the squad, we’re speaking in the end about our squad, our team, our club. Every one of us is working in different areas to try to find a solution."
